First the worst, second the best. Part I

By
Hi readers, Sam here talking about a good but of fun me and Damien are having with each others armies.

The other week Damien challenged me to write the worst list that I could using one of my armies (chaos marines being the obvious choice here) whilst he does the same thing with one of his (orks). Then we both swap armies and see what happens. I thought this was a great idea and the following game developed. Now this is part one of the game analysis and mini batreps with us doing the complete oposite in a few weeks. Writing the best lists with the same armies and swapping again. I hope you enjoy reading this post and if you would like to see more like this then please let us know.

Sam's chaos space marine list
Now I wanted to sink as many points into the army as I could. Therefore every unit has mark of slaanesh and veterans of the long war.

Hq
Abbadon the despoiler

Chaos lord
Slaanesh
Black mace
Murder sword
Sigil of corruption
Aura of dark glory
Spell familiar
Combat familiar
Terminator armour
Melta bombs
Veterans
(Hehehe turn three he booned into a spawn :D)

Elites
Helbrute with two fists and combi bolters
Helbrute with two fists and combi bolters

Troops
Same is repeated 3 times bere 

10 chosen, 4 combi bolters, slaanesh, melta bombs, rhino with every upgrade possible. So
Havoc 
Combi plasma
Bolter
Destroyer blades
Warpflame
Ect

That was 2000 points

Damiens army





Deployment and pre game stuff
As always chaos boons fairly shit
Dae went first
No seize the initiative.

Turn one
Chaos units pop some shots and orks advance
Nothing of note really happens.

Turn two
A frenzied helbrute makes shortwork of a truck

The rest of the orks advance


Left flank looks busy


Turn three
Lascannon pops a truck, havoc launcher begins to mow through men
This was turn three really

Helbrute ready to smash the morkanought

Battlewagons ram the helbrute, combi rockets helped

Chaos lord killed a whole unit them turned into spawn

Morkanought lived, barely


Abbadon walked through the nobs, the marines walked through the boys and the helbrute wrecked the other squad of boys.

End of turn three dae was 8-7 maelstrom points up and I only had gretchen left. At this point I conceeded the game.

Damiens Comment 'Sam should not have given me lascannons...'

Was an absolute blast and I look forward to part two.

Confessions of a Warhammer Wife

By
Confessions of a Warhammer Wife Bruce’s obsession with Warhammer was only revealed to me during our second year of dating. We had been together a long time by then – had even lived together for the majority of that time while at University. And still I didn’t know about this one aspect of Bruce’s nerd-dom. When Bruce and I first began dating I was fully aware of – even besotted by - his nerdy credentials. Together we had played hours of Halo 3 and Mario Kart, swapped manga and even visited the cinema for a solo late night screening of Star Trek. Yet this did not prepare me for what would become one of his main loves in life. It all started back in 2012. We had been living separately back at our parents’ homes after University – me in Yorkshire, he in Worcester. I would often travel down to visit him and on one such occasion I was told of a new friend Bruce had made through work. Damien. They had apparently bonded when Bruce had taken on old model – a Tyranid Warrior I beli...

Worcester Wargames 40K Doubles .

By
It's that time of year again! The Six Up Save lads are painting last mintue details and packing our carry cases in preparation for another one of Worcester Wargames awesome local Tournaments . This years contest comes with a twist; the doubles teams will be paired up at random! From what we are given to understand Andy (the TO) is pairing people up with respective armies (Imperium with Imperium, Orks with Orks etc) but we wont know exactly who our teammates are until the morning of the Tourney. The day will consist of 3 games, one person on each team will be playing Maelstrom objectives and his teammate will be playing for standard objectives on the same board, so it will be an interesting mix up of normal game rules. I'm taking my Redeemer's, but due to lack of time / laziness I'm just taking the exact same list as my Six Up Save League. It's hardley optimised for competitive gameplay, but its fun, fluffy and means I don't have to stress about painting any...

Jericho Reach: First Encounters

By
The galaxy was surrounded by the Hive Fleet however those whom arrived by space travel found that the Fleet parted to allow slender corridors for travel into the Jericho galaxy. However the Tyranids did not so much as stir or attack the space craft.  Each army sent their favoured heroes and their chosen acolytes. On the mining planet of Rheelas the Howling Griffons led by Chaplain Titus within his great Dreadnought armour were the first to engage in battle with the Necrons led by Overlord Naile. However both commanders understood it would do no good to exterminate each other. They both strategically retreated to fight another day. If Khorne was watching he would be greatly angered by the lack of bloodshed. Overlord Naile was able to claim the relic weapon known as Void Reaper and within the mining facility found a Tomb World filled by his Laharl Dynasty brothers.  The Howling Griffons were then ambushed by the Thousand Sons led by the Daemon Prince known in Low Gothi...
